Eugenics, Economics, and the Family
Modern Eugenics
- Many eugenicists viewed population control as a vehicle for modernization, the introduction of liberal democracy, and, if properly pursued, world peace.
- Two directions had formed: an outward view focusing on the global framework and an inward view focusing on the family.
- Many eugenicists blamed racialized population subdivisions, principally those in the Third World, for resource depletion, skyrocketing fertility, and environmental degradation.
- Negative Eugenics- marriage restrictions, immigration quotas and compulsory sterilizations.
- Positive Eugenics- concentrated on encouraging those deemed fit to reproduce in higher numbers.
